"In those moments that most people say I can't, most people say self preservation, most people say what if?... We say "What if?" the other way. What if you land it? What if it is possible?" - Travis Pastrana - X Games Movie "i'm not in this world to live you up to your expectations. And your not in this world to live up to mine." - Bruce Lee If you are taking more action than anyone else, why should you care about their opinion?" ~Derek "I want to see the world through my own eyes not in the reflection of others." - "While you standing around looking dumb. I make it happen, taking action over time. Got damn good at it too!" - T.I.

Haven't read through all the replies but i didn't see it stressed enough in the post: physical escalation. Probably the #1 most important thing IMO (once you get petty shit like different anxieties handled)

Can I re-post your beginner's guide to my local lair. I'd like your consent first so I don't copy it without giving CREDIT. But it's like EGO validation to prove that you are cool and more superior than newbies. Comparing results such as I being in the game 2 yrs I approach 2000 sets and pulled 100 girls. It's all EGO seeking behavour. Then newbies start doing the same mistake.

I also want to talk about the EGO of not getting good at pulling any women after few month in game. It's just too out-come dependent and avoiding rejection to impress wingman. There are a lot of socially awkward newbies with no friends that come to the lair seeking help but too much negativity and EGO is limiting their growth.

Damn, Drama! Awesome write up bro!
One thing that could be added: Kino. Even just a simple touch makes a huge difference. I read this study where they had a guy go out, walk up to girls, say something like "hey my name is____. your cute. what's your number?". They had him test it both with touching their upper arm, and without touching them at all. When touching their upper arm, his success rate went up from like 10% to 20%. This was without changing anything else. Something I'm trying to incorporate into my day to day practices, and something that might help out a lot of other beginners out there. Getting physical without worrying about pushing the limits is a great place to start, imo.

1. Think about who benefits the most from the sex and subsequent relationship… she's a hot girl, sure, but you are actively working on yourself and are more centered than most guys she will meet because of that. Her hotness is only going to decrease over time and there are way more hot girls than attractive guys in the world because of the work it takes to be an attractive guy.
>>> I've never been a big fan of this attitude. If you already assume you're lower and need to rationalize about her decreasing hotness it seems bad. However if it works for you whatever.

P.S. Writing this has been extremely difficult because I’m in so much pain from this surgery and my clarity and focus are non-existent. If I made some mistakes or something doesn’t make sense, let me know. Also, feel free to add on to this list of what I gathered. There are MANY more issues that I could have added, but I’m focusing on the basics first – which are the most important.
>>> Why would you even say this and explain yourself to us? Like you need to point out possible mistakes ahead of time or something. This attitude contradicts with the rest of the article.

I'm not trying to PUA analyze you or anything like that, but it seems like an incongruency, and I don't think you noticed this and I just wanted to point it out. It's 5am and I'm pretty tired and my analysis could be off, but take it for what it's worth. If I'm wrong or if I missed anything let me know.

Now did I really need to write that shit above? You should clean that "explaining yourself stuff" out of all interactions and then it will become automatic with girls.
